A Fatal

Butte Inter-Mountain: AL Keaton is
dying on Shell Greek in the Big Horn
country from frozen feet. There is no
surgeon in that part OF the country and
his friends have not enough money to send
for one. so amputation is out of the ques-
ton. He was frozen while attempting to
go and see about his claim on Big Horn
which, 1t was reported. had been jumped
1t was the morning of December 25th
when Keaton started for the claim, q
distance of rs miles. on foot. and in thin
boots. 1t was very cold and stormy.
and Keaton was lost for three days and
nights among the hills. Finally he found
his way back to Shell Greek. and was
found with his lower extremities frozen
from the knees down. His friends kept
him in snow for 16 hours, and managed
to draw the frost out OF his legs, but
his feet and ankles were beyond cure
His feet are black and greatly swollen
and are literally rotting off. An awful
death awaits him.

The Water Problem.

T. j. Bell writes to the Reno Journal
from Grantsville IS follows: The subject
Of water is being discussed. How to gain
a supply is a problem that should be
solved if possible. With your permission
l will make the following suggestions;
That the Legislature make a small appro'
p~riation to plant chapparel or some other
brush on some OF the highest mountains,
where the snow lies deep and late. Should
it grow. it would spread ell over the hills,
"a 1t would keep the drifting snow and
hold until late and the sun gets high. The
only reason the mountains are bare ID
from forest fires; l notice that the fires
have destroyed all the cottonwood. In
the Fall the leaves fall off, and fire gets in
and destroys the young timber for long
distances. Anything that will catch the
drifting snow, and hold it until late in the
season. will accomplish much good. The
great drawback is the water gives out be.
fore the crops are matured. Gould we get
the mountains covered with some under.
growth timber il would do more good
than all the ~artesian water obtainable.

s. F. Alta: The Winter in the East
has been specially prolific of appalling
railroad disasters. In nearly every in,
stance fire has broken out in the wreck,
and people who otherwise could have
been rescued have been burned to death
before the eyes of those who have been
rendered powerless by the flames. We
have noted that in each of these acct
dents nine.tenths of the deaths have
been from fire. This fact is a reproach
to our civilization. No people travel as
much as ours and none have equal
facilities, but in respect Of danger from
fire our trains are more fatal than the
guns OF an army. 1t may be that legis-
lation will be necessary so force a change.
But if the press will continue to agitate
it. public opinion may compel railroad
corporations to ex pertinent with methods
of lighting and heating that will remit
cremation to the crematories and make
the cars safe.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-The Worlds
Washington special says: Senator Beck
called upon the President yesterday to
urge the appointment of General "Cerro
Gordo" Williams to the Railroad Com
mission. "There has been nothing,
said the President, "that has given me
more concern since l came into Office
than the care necessary to the selection
of the proper persons to be appointed
upon the commission"
Ex-senator Thurman was rendered a
place on the commission but declined,
and asked that his son, Allen W., be
selected; this, however, the President is
considering. though it is not probable the
young man will be recognized as he does
not, according to the Presidents ideas,
possess the necessary qualifications.
If ex-senator Thurman had accepted
it was the purpose of the President to
appoint him for the short term, which
would give him the opportunity of reap
pointing him before the end of the Presi.
dents term, thus giving Judge Thurman
the long term on reappointment.

..AssAULT TO MURDER"

The San Francisco Evening Report
says the charge to be made against
Hodges is assault to murder"
The plan hitherto in vogue in our
criminal courts is to reduce assault to
murder cases to !" simple assault" and
let the miscreant off with about three
months imprisonment. One was let of
with only a days Imprisonment quite
recently. OF course this leniency with
would-be murderers has caused the
criminally inclined classes to hold hu-
man life at light esteem, and to regard
assault to murder as a comparatively
trihing offense. "Better late than
never" is an old adage for which a new
application may be found in the Hodges
case. II we had begun long ago to
teach cranks and scoundrels that human
life was sacred in San Francisco we
should not have our Hodges on our
hands to-day, and "Murderers' Row .
would be available for kindergarten pur.
poses. But there is no reason why we
should not begin the delayed lesson now,
making up our minds to continue the
course until those in need of tuition
in that branch of learning shall have
thoroughly mastered the subject.
If we can put on the assault.to.mur-
der iuries the merchants who, &C
cording to this mornings Examiner, are
"clamorous" for q vigilance committee,
we should seize the opportunity to do SO.

Carson Appeal.
1t frequently happens that the ladies
wish to drop in on the House or Senate
and see how legislation is going. Most Of
the ladies have fsvorites on the floor
whom they like to hear crate on fish and
railroad bills. Many of the fair Sex, how
ever, are debarred of the privilege of
witnessing these scenes advantsgeouely
becaase they are obliged to go on the floor
OF the House or Senate aud take their
chances finding II seat. This is, of course,
very lnoonveient to the ladies, and the
sudden appearance in the midst Of the
Honorable body OF q bevey of charming
women is apt to upset the equilibrium OF
the Younger members OF the Legislature.
Even older men, like Clapp, Mcconnell
and Harris are visibly affected. Now the
Appeal would suggest the introduction Of
a bill appropriating $500 for the building
OF convenient stair ways from the ante
rooms OF the House and Senate to the
galleries, so that the ladies could reach
the galleries without being obliged to push
| in through a crowd of men in order tC
climb q narrow and steep stairway. Sucf
a bill would pass unanimously and b.
| considered by the fair sex as almost equiv

THE alaska ..FREE PRESS

THE ALAShA FREE fAEoS'
The Salt Lake Tribune is in receipt of
the Alaska Free Press, and extracts the
following from it:
The editor starts out with a declara.
tion that the paper "is free from debt
and independent of clique or corpora
tion." Further, he declares that "even
the magic charm Of gold will be power
less to weave around US the bonds OF
slavery" The owners, however, will
receive subscriptions, and they advise
people who want to know anything about
that far.off country to send for the paper.
The Free Press is published at Juneau,
Alaska, and the rates are So per annum.
In an editorial note the editor says;
eve think from practical observation
that we are safe in making the assertion
that there is more gold in twenty square
miles of Alaska than in any State or
Territory in the Union, and that time
will show it up" The route to the
Great Yukon is described; a description
of the Great Douglas Island mine is
given, which mine is pronounced "the
biggest in the world and steadily grow
ing bigger" the flow of the great Muir
glacier is described; there is much in the
sheet that is interesting. The editor
confidently expects a rush to Alaska IN
the Spring. The weather cannot be
desperately cold up there, for the paper
states that the Indian children travel
about in the snow, barefoot. 1t is alto.
gether wonderful to think of a printing
press at work in Alaska. If the gold de.
posits prove that Humboldt was right,
that the great matrix OF all American
mines lies in the Far North, that will
not seem SO strange as that a newspaper
is being published up there.

A Palace In n deserted Valley.

The handsomest house in Sierra county,
says the Sierra Tribune, Is situated In
what was once the most prosperous min.
ing camp in the State Of California. The
residents of Rowland Flat all remember
Henry Stout. Many years ago when
Rowland Flat WAS replete with life and
vigor. Mr.. Stout was the owner of q gen.
eral merchandise store which at that time
was considered the largest north of Marys-
vile. Business was good and Mr.. Stout
found himself burdened with q super
abundance OF filthy lucre. 1t was then
that Mr.. s. conceived the idea of erecting
for himself and wife a palatial residence.
The crown of a small hill just south Of the
town was selected as the building site. II
is here that q $40. 900 residence can be
seen. The owner occupied his home but
a short time. The decline Of the camp
brought dullness to Stout's business.
Things came to such q crisis that he was
at last compelled to abandon his business
To this misfortune was added
His mind was deprived Of Its
reasoning faculties and he was confined to
an insane asylum, where In 9 few months
be died. His wife Ia now sole occupant of
the residence. Rowland Flat has mons of
it's grandeur Of former years and looks
ike q typical deserted village. The
mansion stands out in singular
contrast with the deserted and abandoned
OF the town.

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those of the
nervous system, are the products OF
daily renewed mental exhaustion.
Business avocations often involve an
amount of mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions, If arduously pursued, are
no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is one of the most important
attributes of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, and it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and that it imparts new
energy to the brain and nerves. The
rapidity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is
remarkable, and shows that its invigor-
ating properties are of the highest order.
Besides increasing the vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects OF mental
exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and
constipation, kidney and uterine weak
ness and other complaints. Physicians
also recommend it as amedicated stimu-
liant and remedy. I'm.
